Syrian Rebels Testing Improvised Gas Tank Bomb Launcher - Caught on Camera

As the Syrian Civil War erupted in the 2010s, a rustic-looking improvised artillery piece crafted by the Free Syrian Army, known as the Hell Cannon, became the focus of several journalistic investigations. Unlike the sleek, precision-engineered weapons of modern armies, this ingeniously repurposed everyday objects and readily available materials into implements of war. Ordinary propane cylinders transformed into powerful explosive projectiles. For a while, this weapon was only a word-of-mouth reality until, later in the conflict, the system was captured in stark, gritty footage. Since then, this novel weapon has been featured in clandestine propaganda videos, with the Syrian rebels showcasing its capabilities for promotional purposes, complete with cleverly designed spec sheets. In this 2016 video that has since made many rounds online, the Hell Cannon is the main protagonist. Born of scrap metal and crude engineering, this intimidating device stands ready for action. --- Dark Footage showcases the most unbelievable photos and videos from history while telling the stories behind the camera. Featuring military, space, aircraft and real-life historic events caught on tape.
